Dark landscapes etched an opal-ed night
Wind blown poplars and jutting pines
Thick undergrowth and climbing vines
Beneath a silvered moon waxed bright
Cast a pearled foreboding witching light
For those who recognize the signs
(committed to unholy rites)
Those restless hearts who cross thin lines...
Among the aspen stands he waits
Watching her with fevered eyes
Blind desire binds two fates
Hollow hunger undisguised
Two savage hearts
Ravaged by need
One from the dark ...one from the light
In symbiosis they will feed
One so empty
...the other needing filling
One so hungry
... the other willing
Destiny and transformation
Go before a soul’s salvation
Change is final ...unforgiving
Death is only for the living
Sweetgrass perfumed the midnight air
...time for her unsacred taking
Lovingly with throat laid bare
She awaited her unmaking…
Her cold Goliath placed the kiss
(warming with unnatural bliss)
“For love!” she screamed
(with her last living breath)
“Immortal and alive in death!”
